Broncos agreed to terms with OT Ryan Harris, formerly of the Chiefs.

Harris, who played for coach Gary Kubiak in 2012-13, provides depth after LT Ryan Clady (ACL) was lost for the season. Harris was middling as the Chiefs' right tackle last season, but has experience on the blindside. It's a no-brainer signing for a Broncos team that already lacked tackle depth before Clady's injury.

Harris, 29, is a former third-round pick of the Broncos. He's appeared in 78 games, making 39 starts mostly at right tackle. In K.C., he'll push Donald Stephenson for the starting job opposite Eric Fisher and compete with J'Marcus Webb for swing-tackle duties. Harris made three starts for Houston in 2013.

Harris, 29, was the mystery fourth lineman, joining C Samson Satele, G Daryn Colledge, and C Steve Vallos. Harris is mostly a right tackle who has started 39 games in his career. The Dolphins are reportedly going to sign Colledge, but Harris and Satele drew positive reviews at the workout and may also be added. Mon, Jun 30, 2014 06:56:00 PM

Harris, 28, played in 16 games last season, starting two. Pro Football Focus graded him out positively as a pass blocker and in the screen game, but as a slight liability against the run. Harris is an athlete whose natural fit is in a zone-blocking scheme. He'll likely serve as solid depth behind Derek Newton at right tackle. Mon, Apr 8, 2013 05:48:00 PM

Harris, 27 in March, was released at final cuts in Philly with an injury settlement after undergoing back surgery. Following Chris Kuper's injury, Harris will serve as depth during what may be a short-lived Denver playoff run.

Harris was amongst the Eagles' final cuts last month after his ever troublesome back held him out for a majority of training camp. He'd provide solid depth along Minnesota's shaky offensive line if healthy, but there's currently little reason to believe he'd be able to stay on the field.

Eagles RT Ryan Harris underwent what the team considers a "successful" microdiscectomy on his troublesome back Monday.

Teams don't typically announce surgeries as "unsuccessful." The hope is that Harris' will fix the problems he's experienced for the last six years, dating back to Notre Dame. The Eagles have not provided a timetable for Harris to return, but the odds are against him being an early-season contributor. Todd Herramans will open the year on Mike Vick's blind side.

The Eagles said on Friday that Harris would go under-the-knife "within the next week." It's looking doubtful Harris will be able to contribute in any meaningful way this season. Todd Herremans is currently ticketed as Michael Vick's Week 1 blindside protector.

Eagles RT Ryan Harris will undergo back surgery "within the next week" and is out indefinitely.

The procedure will repair a herniated disc, but it's a long-term concern. Harris has undergone three known back surgeries in six years, dating back to his senior season at Notre Dame. His medical history is one of the major reasons the Eagles were able to sign Harris on the cheap this offseason. Harris threatens to be a total non-factor in Philly this year. So far, the Eagles' free-wheeling moves in free agency have yet to pay obvious dividends.

Eagles RT Ryan Harris (back) has participated in just one practice and zero preseason games since signing on August 4.

Harris' back woes have his role and effectiveness in question. According to Paul Domowitch of the Philadelphia Daily News, "(Harris') chances of being any kind of a pass-protection factor this season are slim." Combined with Winston Justice's slow recovery from knee surgery, Michael Vick's blind side has become a major concern. Current starter King Dunlap is not the answer.

Harris missed Philadelphia's second preseason game and nearly two weeks of practice. He has the talent to be the Eagles starter, but HC Andy Reid said on Saturday that he currently considers King Dunlap to be his starting right tackle. That will change if both Harris and Winston Justice can stay healthy.

Ryan Harris (back) has now missed a full week of practice and will not play in the Eagles' second preseason game.

Harris' injury history is well documented and it's the main reason he hasn't become a dominant tackle in the NFL. With Winston Justice (knee) also sidelined, Michael Vick's blind side is a concern. Unreliable yet massive King Dunlap will start on Thursday.

"He's had work done on his back before, and so we're just going to make sure we check this thing out and just that it's right," said head coach Andy Reid. "Right now it looks like it's not too serious." Though Harris is set to enter the season as the team's starter on Michael Vick's blind side, the fragile veteran is a long shot to play all 16 games.
